This is a fascinating project, and I think our readers would love to hear about it. I would like to invite you to cross-post this entry on Haiti Rewired, or write about the project in another way if you like. Also, I’m in Haiti now and would love to meet up with your researchers if they are still here and get a first-hand look at what they’re doing. ~Arikia
